Raising the Bar: The New Era of the Exemplary Schools Award

Join hosts Rachel Naylor and Lisa Fall, CMP, as they sit down with Dr. Sharon Rice, assistant professor at Stephen F. Austin State University, and Tammy Gilstrap, a retired Texas educator with over 40 years of experience, to talk about the exciting relaunch of the Exemplary Schools Award. The conversation explores the importance of post-summer routine, the challenges of creating a more accessible and equitable application process, and how the revamped criteria highlight the impact of comprehensive health and physical education. From detailed lesson plans to video evidence and collaboration, the new approach is designed to truly reflect the quality of programs across Texas.
